"This book is a valuable collection of tips and techniques, covering both data as a source of journalism and as a tool with which the story is told. It starts with a general introduction on the main characteristics of data journalism, gives an insight into its practical relevance in the newsroom, and presents inspiring case studies on elections, riots, school performance, corruption and other issues. It then introduces methods of data sourcing from open data portals, through freedom of information laws, and by crowdsourcing, followed by practical advice on how to extract and interpret information from raw data. The final section on "delivering data" shows how data visualisation helps to tell stories and provides tips on building news apps and feeding open data platforms." (CAMECO Update 2-2012)
